a_bertrand Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I posted a few times about Unity 3D but never a thread about it. Maybe it's time to do so, more over Unity 3D will more likely support flash in the sense that you will be able to "export" your game to flash to be able to play from within the flash player, and this without even coding in action script! Check it out here: Unity blog For those which do not know what Unity 3D is, it is a full environment for designing high performance 3D games, cross platform, and multi or single users. A first version (which is actually quiet complete) is available for free, and further versions allow you to make games for iPhone or Android or more. Unity 3D doesn't allow you to create your objects directly from their tools, however you can import from basically any 3D modeler with animations and textures, and then create your 3D scenes inside unity. You can code then the logic in Javascript, C# or Boo or a mix of the 3. Honestly I hardly found any other 3D game engine with such quality at an affordable price or even free.

bluegman991 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 just downloaded it yesterday and played with it a little. seems pretty great so far i can see this to become a widely used program seeing all of the things it can do and all of the systems and languages it can compile to (android,iphone,windows,mac,xbox360,ps3,wii,javascript,C# and probably more) gonna do a/some tut's today to learn somethings i havent already learned yet (mostly the coding) Quote
Deathmaker Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I don't like Unity the main problem is that it isn't cross plattform. So you can't use it under Linux. I have played a single game with it under Windows and the performance was pretty bad, but maybe they improved it recently. Quote
a_bertrand Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 Ok no linux support, indeed, and? Sorry but how many games runs on Linux and how big the market is? Linux is great for geeks, and servers but is certainly not the right platform for players. So offering Mac, Windows, XBOX, iPhone, Android seems already incredible. Performances wise, I would say it's fantastic. It is extremely fast (for what I tried), and offer a lot of sharers / effects. Quote
